Jacksonville Jaguars Unveil Stripped-Down Uniforms

Recommended Posts

It's truly amazing to me how ... all it would take would be maybe two board members from here, drawn from a hat, a room, and 2 hours, and the great uniforms we could think up and have thought up for years.

Yet the people getting paid at Nike and the decision makers for the respective teams literally never know what they want, or what looks good.

Jacksonville has given us both ends of the spectrum and I'm laughing my damn ass off

You guys have no idea how happy I am to see this. It's not matte, it's not satin, it's not teal flake, it's not semi-gloss, it's not that black the steelers use, it's not some textured "carbon fiber" nonsense. It doesn't have a stripe or a gold chrome facemask. It's a gloss black dome with the logo on the sides, like their original helmets. They didn't botch the easiest thing about this redesign. Even the eastbay catalog logo looks good on this lid.

SHARP.

First they went outside the box and came up with half-assed features that don't even look good. Now they "listened" to their fans and they give us a bland version of the uniforms that's too stripped down and doesn't look great either.

Seems like it's the same design team who made both uniforms and who can't do anything right.

The Jacksonville Jaguars, one win away from a berth in the Super Bowl this past January, have unveiled a whole new uniform at their State of the Franchise today in Jacksonville. Three new jerseys, three pants, and a whole new […]

Although it's incredibly simple; I do actually enjoy this new uniform, and I disagree with many here about making the Teal the primary jersey. I think the black and white with teal as an accent will do well with the rest of the AFC South, who 3/4 now have simplistic uniforms (Don't get me started on the Titans new uniform). I wish the pants had color on them tho, something like "stripe" that the Nike U of C Berkeley unis had, which I always thought the old unis copied. Also, I wish the numbers had outlines, Teal for the black and white jerseys, and black for the teal jersey. Overall the uniform gets around a 8.2/10 because I like the simplistic nature, but they could've done a little bit more to make it different from the previous set.

Helmets look way better now. The jerseys are just bland. And Shad really needs to stop focusing on the black. It's a Teal Team. Emphasize it!

What is their obsession with black? Wasn't it just a tertiary color at first? If Teal & Gold were considered the primaries, even this design would look so much better. Imagine the teal jersey with gold accents. It would give it so much more life.

Pants-- Did Nike not even try? What the heck? How hard is it to add some color? a stripe? something?

Overall-- Looks like a high school or community college with no budget, not a franchise in the multi-billion dollar NFL. An improvement only because the former uniforms were a disaster, but nothing NIKE should be proud of.
